Hot Topics for Concrete Pumpers:
Up and Running – Problem Solving Your Truck Issues

Location: World of Concrete 2016
Las Vegas Convention Center | North Hall | Room N114

Event Description: Do you panic when that pesky “check engine” light appears or just do nothing and hope it will magically disappear? Reliability of the pump as well as your truck’s performance is crucial to the success of the job but unfortunately, sometimes the inevitable engine failure does occur. Now what? During this session, a panel of the industry’s leading truck experts will address many of the headaches concrete pumpers experience as they struggle to keep their fleet operating at peak performance.

Some of the topics include:

  • Emission requirements for today’s standards
  • Computer diagnostic programs – what’s available and are they easy to use?
  • Retrofits for those 2007 disaster engines – do they work and what do they cost?
  • Preventative maintenance tips
  • Navigating those #$@! error codes
  • Repairs – who to call and how to expedite service
  • Upcoming 2017 engine changes – more headaches or some much needed relief?

Audience participation required! This will be an open forum for concrete pumpers to ask their questions, share solutions and learn new ideas for maintaining their fleets at optimum capability.
